| Introduction |
|---|
|
The German 11th Infantry Division crossed the Polish border at about 0500, immediately running into scattered resistance from Polish delaying forces screening the border. The Poles slowed the advance, and by the time the Germans reached the main line of resistance the Polish defenders had been fully alerted and occupied the positions that German pre-invasion intelligence claimed did not exist. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
The llth Infantry Division, one of the well-equipped "First Wave" infantry divisions expected to provide the Wehrmacht's striking power, ran into unexpectedly heavy Polish resistance behind well-prepared defenses. German efforts to break through proved futile and the division pulled back into German territory. |

After seeing the set up of the defensive line, the German Commander decided to take his losses early and go for a breakthrough through the town. All went well, the town was well in hand and the German Commander was feeding his troops, after the initial assault(s) on the town, "en echlon" down the line. It worked out very well EXCEPT for one #5^&*($@! group at the bottom of the town who would absolutely not "go down" despite overwhelming odds! This group held on for two more hours until finally beaten down. After that it was a shoe in for a "triple crown" and the win. |
